Our attack is
merely a beginning. We are not passive, we are not civil, and we will not
apologize," the letter continues. "Those of good conscience and clear mind know
this state of oppression cannot remain." Metropolitan Republican Club officials
say they are not canceling their event with McInnes and that they will "move
forward" from the vandalism.

A full
statement from the club states:

"Last night
the Metropolitan Republican Club was vandalized by the leftist hate group
Antifa, who also left a note promising 'this is just the beginning' and
threatening more violence. Republicans are a minority party in NYC by a wide
margin, and while most city residents are respectful of our activities, our
grassroots efforts are often met with hostility. Last night's shameful assault
by Antifa cowards represents a tragic new low, and is sadly only the most
recent example of leftist violence and aggression against the conservative
movement. But rest assured that we will not be intimidated by violence,
threats, or hate speech. We will continue to fight for freedom and liberty here
in New York City and all across this great nation."
